Cars filled Broadway not long after the end of the Kentucky Derby Saturday night, and while it's a wild ride, many locals said it's about promoting a safe time.

Nice cars, fast motorcycles and plenty of action. There was a lot to see, and eat, on Broadway for Derby Day.

As the sun started going down, crowds began popping up and cruising the strip. Some took to the street for fun, others for work.

"It's always a nice good time. You see nice exotic cars, pretty women and hopefully some nice honest bucks," said Chris Staples who washed cars along Broadway.

"A lot of people out here enjoying themselves. Nice cars, you know, you can't ask for more. No drama, no violence," said Broadway cruiser Cliff Owensby.

With hundreds of people taking to Broadway after the race, locals said it's important it stays that way.

Nate Wilson cooks and sells barbecue every year on Broadway. He said he's seen things get out of control in the past and hopes to promote safe fun this year.

"Being a part of a safer Broadway is a good thing. Children are able to come out here and walk with their parents, so long as it's safe," said Wilson.

The Moore Temple Church had free food and free sermons for that very reason

"It's fun and it attracts people. You see people coming up and down Broadway and it gets their attention and draws them in. We want to show people in Louisville that there are more things than parties and clubs," said church-goer Rachel Ancrum.

Anyone heading out to Broadway Saturday night should be cautious of heavy traffic and pedestrians.
